Josh Brolin, who upped his badass credentials with his recent starring role in No Country for Old Men, might be the hunter and not the hunted in a blockbuster franchise film – Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins. The Three-Two-One snagged an exclusive interview with the film’s director McG who mentioned a few big names when asked about his “dream Terminator”:

And there’s guys out there like Russell Crowe and Eric Bana, bring a good physicality, they do what they do, but I don’t know if they’re exactly right at the end of the day. (Smiles) Josh Brolin is a very exciting actor – we’ll see.

There’s a nice size pull quote alerting readers to that last sentence, so it’s got to be news, right? Check out the full interview here.

But on a side note, I’ve been a little behind on the blockbuster news. When the hell did McG get this gig and who should be fired for thinking that was a good idea? Just wondering.

Terminator Salvation: The Future Begins starring Christian Bale (as John Connor) opens in June 2009.
